About this property

Stylish Spacious Converted Bakery★Best Downtown Location★ Walk to Everything

110 year-old adobe market, artfully converted to a comfortable, upscale home. A quiet sanctuary located right in the midst of all the action: Downtown, Community Center, Theaters, Restaurants, and the Streetcar to UA, Banner Hospital. Located in quiet, historic neighborhood with high walk score. 4 blocks from downtown center and streetcar route.

Ideal for couples/friends/families who want large, comfortable gathering areas for shared time, but also desire separate bedrooms & bathrooms. This is a home where you won't be tripping over your luggage, waiting for the bathroom, or hearing the people in the next room. It's a full sized home, that just happens to be in the most desirable location in Tucson.

If you value authenticity, but also enjoy comfort and convenience, look no further.

Thick adobe walls, flagstone and hardwood flooring, Luxury linens, new beds/sofas, full sized washer/dryer. Delightfully furnished with an industrial vibe.

Expansive great room has soaring exposed beam ceilings and partially exposed adobe walls. A repurposed wood and pipe bar-height gathering table seats 8. Adjacent to comfortable sofa/chair seating for 9. The 55" smart TV streams Amazon Prime, via hi speed internet/w WiFi, Bose sound speaker, original art, designer lighting.

Relax in your own private, high-walled courtyard garden, with an Orange tree, fountain, natural gas grill, vintage patio table and chairs.

Completely outfitted kitchen with stainless steel appliances-gas stove, dishwasher, full size refrigerator with ice-maker, drip and French press coffee maker, microwave, blender, toaster, Fitz & Floyd dishes, stainless flatware for 8., condiments, teas, 15 herbs/spices,

The front bedroom has a queen bed, the sunroom bedroom has a king. Both beds with memory foam toppers. There is also a twin air bed available for a 5th person, which you can set up in one of the bedrooms. The "root cellar" downstairs is not counted as a bedroom because it does not have a large enough window to the outside to meet modern code, so should not be used overnight.

Note: Because of the steep, ungated stairway that leads down to the root cellar, this house is not appropriate for young children..

The Bakery is a unique gem that is worth the trip to Tucson. The attention to detail in every room is superlative and Nancy, who really is the owner as well as the property manager, could teach a Master class in how to welcome and support guests! Truly hope we can make it back again to this great property.

An Oasis Close to Everything!

Our stay in Tucson was fantastic. Nancy’s attention to detail; her passion about the history and integrity of the property was evident. We loved the ability to walk just about everywhere, with easy street parking when we drove. Our favorite place to unwind after a day of exploring was the courtyard. We’re already planning our next trip!

Thank you for your kind words. I must admit I was surprised that you rated the Bakery only “4 stars.” We have over 70 reviews on the various listing sites, and they are ALL “5 stars”... until now! I looked at our texts and emails, and didn’t see any problems mentioned, so I am anxious to find out what we could have done better to earn the excellent rating that we strive for. Please text or email me and let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement. We really value feedback from our guests, and many of the improvements we have made to the property over the years is based their input.

Very Close to Historic Tucson

We enjoyed our stay. The house is quite eclectic and comfortable. We were steps away from the Turquoise Trail which we wanted to walk. The location is very close to the historic Tucson and a quick tram tide to the University.

Thank you for your review. I'm glad you got to do the turquoise trail. And you mentioning it reminded me that I need to put something in the Guidebook about it. It's amazing to see the size of the Presidio Wall nestled up against the huge government buildings and realize that it was the best protection they had only 150 years ago.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Day

Host profile image
I've lived in Tucson most of my life and love it. My husband and I have traveled a lot, and enjoy exploring older, eclectic neighborhoods-the less 'planned,' the better. We love commercial/industrial buildings converted to residential use; steampunk and industrial style decor; modern mixed with antiques, repurposed objects, and old urban neighborhoods that are being revitalized.
That is why we bought the Bakery. We want to live here full time when we retire. A few years away, but since this is a one-of-a-kind building, we had to get it when it became available.

Why they chose this property

The Bakery is the 'real thing.' It is featured on the first page of the application for Historical Status for Armory Park. It predates most the city records, first appears on the Sanborn Insurance maps between 1896 and 1904. It was large for an adobe building of that time, and was most probably a barracks. We don't know much before the late 1930's, when it was a grocery store. It was also printing shop, pinball repair shop and lastly a Bakery before being converted.
It is light filled, airy, unique and cool.
Everyday activities take on an almost spiritual, timeless quality. There is no other home exactly like this; probably because of it's long and changing history.

Think of it! How many times in your life will you get to live in a Bakery?

What makes this property unique

The thick adobe walls provide a quiet sanctuary, while the preserved Bakery storefront allows you to view the activity outside. It offers the rare combination of being in the middle of everything, while being quiet and private.

Armory park is an eclectic, revitalizing urban neighborhood, where there is something interesting, different, and often weird around every corner. It is the best place in Tucson to live if you want to forego driving for a while. It is within walking or streetcar distance to anything you could need.

This area of Tucson is one of the oldest continually occupied places in North America. It has a tolerant, laid back vibe, and thriving art/culture scene, and very little pretentiousness. Wear your comfortable clothing, or dress up if you feel like it.
